Outside of the fact it's woman who's gay, where's the huge departure?

Hell. Her day to day persona is that of a wealthy socialite even for cripes sake.

Perhaps, but those similarities are relatively subtle compared to the superficial stuff. First, Batman is a man—and a burly one at that. I know this shouldn't matter to people, but it does. Then there are other differences, like Bats being smarter than everyone else, and things like that.

NO way that this is gonna go long term.

Batman is a man who runs around in spandex with a young boy.

Can't really get gayer than that.

Again, where are these huge differences that have nothing to do sex.

not so my friend. i grew up with comics in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and today. i'm not as young as many might think.

again, then you are missing out. some of the best stories written have come out in the last 9 years. civil war, house of m, the other, messiah complex, and so on. and the 80's weren't exactly the prime of comic books. not the whole of the 80's anyway. from 85-90 i would say you're right. personally, i think the 90's right up until 1998 were the prime of comic books. many of the best stories came out of that time. great, great runs of excellent comic books too. as long as we're not talking about dc comics mind you.

And I know DC's toyed with the idea of an even darker "Batwoman (no relation to Batgirl)", as previously promo-spun off in another Warner toon feature, but...

...Any other MST3K fans right now expecting her to be accompanied by go-go girls, and conducting Chinese seances?

*Cheers for a refrence to The Wild Wild World of Batwoman!*

God I miss MST3K more and more every day.

These stunts the big comic book publishers regularly promote have ruined a little part of comics for me. Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows this is a publicity stunt and a temporary move to boost sales and attract attention to the Batman line of comics. All I have to say is the name Azrael and you will know what I am talking about. The Kathy Kane as Batwoman character was originally a love interest for Batman in the 1950's. Times certainly have changed...
